For those paying close attention to the Sunlight Foundation's Politwoops site, which captures deleted tweets from the country's politicians, a particularly colorful tweet was deleted from Rep. Bill Huizenga's account on Sunday. "Zombie theme park planned for #Detroit #HellYeah," the rogue tweet read, linking to a story about transforming a blighted section of the city into a live-action park. The congressman's communications director Brian Patrick explained to Yeas & Nays that he clicked the wrong button, and that the exuberant tweet was supposed to be sent from his personal account. "I don't think he has any comment on that," Patrick said, regarding the Michigan Republican's actual opinion on a zombie-themed park. "But I would say he would be for almost anything that creates jobs in Michigan."
